• modern linux distribution
• kernel-2.6.25 or later
• cmake-2.6 or later
• libcrypto-0.9.8 or later (openssl-0.9.8)
• libpcre
• net-snmp-5.x (for snmp)
• liblua5.1 (for IPoE)

You can download latest source from https://sourceforge.net/projects/accel-ppp/files/latest/download?source=files
or get it from git

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/accel-ppp/code accel-ppp.git

You'll get master branch. If you need 1.7 branch then execute:

git checkout -b 1.7 --track origin/1.7

Unpack source and make build directory in some place, you can create it inside source tree.
Change current working directory to your build directory.

Caution! Don't compile inside source tree if you want to build pptp module, it will fail. Start build process in your build directory.

Then you have to invoke cmake command, common form is:

cmake [[options]] /path/to/accel-ppp-source

You can customize project to enable or disable some features using following options. All these options are optional.

-DBUILD_PPTP_DRIVER=TRUE

This option enables build of pptp kernel module. If you have 2.6.37 or later linux kernel you don't need this option because starting from 2.6.37 pptp is included to mainline kernel.

-DBUILD_IPOE_DRIVER=TRUE

This option enables build of ipoe kernel module. This module is required if you wish to use IPoE in shared interface mode or if you need vlan monitor.

-DBUILD_VLAN_MON_DRIVER=TRUE

This option enables build of vlan monitor kernel module.

-DKDIR=/usr/src/linux

Specifies path to linux kernel source directory. You need this option only if you want to build pptp kernel module.

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/some/location

Specifies prefix to install accel-ppp to. Default value is /usr/local.

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

Specifies that build has to include debug information. As you can guess it is used for debugging purpose and you don't need to specify it if you don't plan to help with debugging.

-DLOG_PGSQL=TRUE

This option enables build of log_pgsql module which you can use for logging to PostreSQL database.

-DRADIUS=FALSE

Disables build of radius module.

-DNETSNMP=TRUE

Enables build of snmp agent module.

-DLUA=TRUE

Build accel-ppp with lua support (useful for ipoe only).

After cmake was succeed you can start compilation invoking make command.

After make was succeed you can install accel-ppp by make install command

 $ wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/accel-ppp/files/accel-ppp-1.7.4.tar.bz2
 $ tar -xjf accel-ppp-1.7.4.tar.bz2
 $ mkdir accel-ppp-build
 $ cd accel-ppp-build
 $ cmake ../accel-ppp-1.7.4
